Paul Biya will he hold out another 7 years in power?
It's that he
anagement must be asked to stop the continual absences and long stays in private foreign President. To do this, availability and ability to preside over the destiny of the country for another presidential term for another 7 years should be long, and this seriously taken into account during the debates of the campaign for the next presidential election of 2011 Cameroon. And for good reason, 77 years sounded well good life, including 28 in power unchallenged added to almost 7 in the various governments Ahidjo, even if his entourage and especially his adamant support respondents, some through the motions of support, other through clubs and friends of the President, it is providential man, only able to re-enlist for another 7 years, it is clear as crystal, it is not necessarily for his physical well-being that his constituents want to see him go until his last breath. Just to stay in the manger. Since normally the same family, very often we say in all candor and insight to a septuagenarian grandfather and that to preserve his health and especially to keep alive a long time: "take a rest for better appreciate his works " . But alas, we see instead the makers push dictators Lion man so that he will endure and still in power up to a total collapse in the Bongo in Gabon. A president failed energy
Yet in recent years, some gestures of breath shown by the strong man of Etoudi showed that health could say more and more fragile. Thus we could see very well at certain ceremonial activities that sometimes Paul Biya was exhausted. Already in 2009, for example, at the Francophonie Summit held in Quebec City in Canada is a president tired, very exhausted no doubt by the long journey and jet lag which was presented at this meeting. What has alarmed good numbers of Cameroonians come to welcome his arrival in the capital of the province of Quebec. The images of her getting off the plane have betrayed his health. He also said that during the summit, he could not attend to certain works. Even dropping the Cameroonian Diaspora in Canada who met in Montreal to receive it and who had believed until the Late in his presence. "Everyone has been very tired Biya in Quebec City. We must even wonder if the president is in good health "had questioned a Cameroonian at the meeting without Biya in Montreal. After the summit in October 2009, he has spent nearly a month in Europe before returning to Cameroon while the media were wondering where was it spent.
Most recently, at the XIII Summit of the Francophonie, held in Montreux, Switzerland, sitting at the first lodge, Paul Biya was struggling to hide a constant state of fatigue externalized by insisting sleep. Without doubt he had had extensive sessions since his arrival in Switzerland. Since this is often said that he retired to work best. Still, it gives the impression of a man who would need more rest than efforts required to manage certain folders. Especially since the function of armed forces chief, chief magistrate that his constitutional, added to the sessions by its recommended daily briefings on the status of the country and sensitive cases are very demanding and calling time available. Hence no doubt the inertia that often condemns.
Even more worrisome now its air raids, there is a bodyguard who follows closely. Precedent and the first lady, according to the protocol, must be with her husband.
Cameroonians have also seen that the frequency of his trips to Europe increased pace. His short stays are now converted and extended stays in this unknown destinations of the people who elected him and that he owes. These endless private stays past in Europe are all signs that do not lie. One can even say that if the law does not require it to return to Cameroon after a certain number of consecutive days of absence territory under penalty finding of unavailability, it would pass, perhaps, more time abroad in Cameroon. Besides the return to Cameroon is often only an appearance, as soon come soon gone.
And as proof, in 2009, Our Brother Day newspaper published in one of his articles that President Paul Biya had spent 115 days on 300 spent abroad since the beginning of 2009, 98 days and stays private only 15 days of official holidays. Unfortunately "the Constitution is silent on the issue of repeated absenteeism the Head of State " , confided in an interview the journalist and actor Joseph Marie sociopolitical Eloundou. These absences are
epidermal, as deemed sociopolitical, very detrimental to the progress of the State insofar as he believes "it is observed that the multiple trips abroad of the President of the Republic benefit employees of the Head of State, they do their business during this time the cat gone, the mice will play. It is well settled that impunity and inaction. Lax took up residence in our country. The Mafia administrative the opportunity to get its hands on the public wealth " , he argues.

Can he be punished at the next presidential Bedie as in Côte d'Ivoire?
The last presidential election in Côte d'Ivoire is a case study for Cameroon. The brave citizens Ivorians, unbroken, less intimidated and unimpressed by the speech of the brain washing is saying "the right man or Man God have said no to a massive return to the country's leader Henri Konan Bedier, 76, in the first round of presidential elections on 31 October in Côte d'Ivoire. Probably because they think Bedier has already given all his best to his country. Especially since he himself said in an interview with Jeune Afrique Economics in 1998, only "75 years, an officer reaches the age limit and can no longer be in charge of the destiny of a modern nation " , he argued. The President understood very Bedier well and quite wise, as the golden age, it must be retired and enjoying life. The Ivorian has probably public remembered and told him to peace through the ballot box. Also note
Bedie in this election could not keep up a tough campaign, difficult and long. He was scion throughout Côte d'Ivoire. Hold rallies long and sometimes being on the road each day during the two week campaign. Because for the first time he had to face strong rivals. Gbagbo, who had been away during the elections in time of old and discarded in 1995 Allassane doubtful nationality. But today we can see through the results of a first round encounter between the two would have turned to the advantage of ADO. Without doubt
fragile Bedier could not have held during this campaign very demanding. Even refusing to move to the Ivorian television to present his program, and especially also refusing to hold a meeting at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny to galvanize his troops. What strategic error! Yet the reasons for refusal are clear today. Bedier is not popular among young people. With less than 20% in the vast region of the Lagoon including Abidjan, his staff saw the internal polls, it was impossible for them to fill the stadium Felicia Abidjan as their opponents finally arrived first and second. The only positions available for the second round.
In Cameroon, no one can tell when was the last time that Paul Biya has communed with youth. Or when was his last visit to the interior. Imagine a two-week campaign during which the septuagenarian president has to beat a real country from North to South, East to West. Imagine the daily meetings of two to three hours. It would be a hell for Mr Paul Biya to take part for hours at a mass meeting, under a burning sun and warmth from the stage of the reunification of Douala spirit to present its program. Imagine the television spirit to respond to real questions from journalists on the news uncomplexed his country instead of written speeches he reads each year end, the celebration of youth and 20 May .
What can we learn and what to do in 2011?
In fact, at some point in life, take in the calm and dignified retirement to earn the respect of all citizens. To rest, to write his memoirs, to undertake a charity, such as a library or a foundation, which will be left for posterity.
As such, we can take President Paul Biya in his address to the National Assembly 20 June 1987, recognizing very well and knowing that " retirement is not a sanction is the natural culmination of a career spent in the service of the State and it is a legitimate aspiration to rest " insisted he had 23 years ago. Mr. Biya and stated and so could not be more clear that nobody should be anxious to retire. Moreover, in his speech to the Cameroonian youth each February 11, President Paul Biya often insists on the importance of change, therefore the change of government. But how is it that today, himself afraid to apply? The plan must be accepted by all to be better prepared.
provide a good rest to Paul Biya
In 2011, through the ballot box and in peace, Cameroonians should give a chance to Paul Biya to take a well deserved retirement as Ivorians have indicated to Mr. Bedier. Generation future needs of memory of Mr. Biya. We must also give him the opportunity to spend more time with her children without presidential support. We must above all show him how his life is loved, as he shaped Cameroon. Only the ballot box in 2011 can say thank you for all services rendered to Cameroon, our beloved country. Unlike his entourage food which remain in power even under artificial respiration, in real people, health conscious, say thank you to Mr. Biya for peace in 2011 polls.
